Abstract:
Mathematical biology involves the use of mathematical models derived from biological data to predict the course or outcome of a biological event. In oncology, mathematics plays a vital role in determining the tumor behavior and the optimal treatment strategy including the right combination of treatment modality to be used, and the timing and duration of the treatment. The major limiting factor in mathematical oncology is the inability to obtain accurate biological data to formulate appropriate mathematical models.1 Development of molecular biology has enabled us to overcome these limitations.
